Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The proposed project will construct four (4) rail sidings in multiple cities across Nebraska on the NCRC operated line. NCRC, the intended beneficiary, is a Class III shortline railroad operating predominately Class 2 track leased from Union Pacific (UP).
The grantee will perform grading, material installation, track construction, and surfacing work. Additionally, there are five (5) road crossings that will be continued through the new rail sidings, as a continuation of existing road crossings at Norfolk Subdivision MP 7.47, Ord Subdivision 4.6 and 5.59, and Stromsburg Subdivision MP 73.3 and 73.39.
The sidings aim to improve railroad efficiency, reliability, and capacity alleviate congestion at freight rail choke-points and enhance multi-modal connections to strengthen rail network resiliency in the event of major flooding. This project consists of 5 tasks with corresponding deliverables: Task 1 - Project Management (DWP FPR), Task 2 - Preliminary Engineering, Task 3 - Environmental Review (NEPA Documentation CE), Task 4 - Final Design, and Task 5 - Construction.
